Human Evolution Quiz

Human Evolution Quiz brings together fascinating stories from our distant past. One remarkable discovery was the footprints at Laetoli in Tanzania, preserved in volcanic ash around 3.6 million years ago. These prints show that early hominines were already walking upright long before the appearance of modern humans. What makes them even more interesting is how they captured not just the shape of feet but also the stride, giving researchers a glimpse into daily life. Such finds remind us how small details can reshape our understanding of prehistoric human’s trivia. This quiz connects facts about early humans, Neanderthal extinction, and missing link evolution, while exploring which species walked upright and used stone tools in engaging ways.
